Freedom

Somewhere, in a cabin close to the tavern, Zira and Lucius were exchanging tales over the years. It was pretty hard to come in Tortuga or more like stay in Tortuga when you stole a famed Black Woman, had a child with her and just stepping on the island created chaos.

'' And you?''  Lucius asked when he finished telling about Draco adventure and how they come to land here  '' Never saw something so fancy before.''  he commented nodding towards her jewelry. Gold with small stones, heavy but looking light enough when she carried them around without a care, no fear of being robbed. It was a different kind of crazy, to have no fear on Tortuga.

'' You couldn't have, if you tried to catch the Pearl for ten years. I would have though that you could have catch something blessed by Calypso till now. '' she said avoiding the subject

'' More like Davy Jones magic or curse. Though we have a lead now.'' Lucius said leaning back on his chair smirking. Zira brightened further and united her hands smiling 

'' The lad was really handsome. To think he is the son of Bootstrap Bill.'' she mussed stroking her golden rings gently   '' You lot actually have a change now, with such a bargain.''  Lucius hummed then give her a look making her sigh   '' Fine, fine. I'm telling you but that's just because I want you to take something for dear Cissa too.''  she pursed her lips hiding a smile then with she grinned slowly reveling a pair of white teeth, amusement and slyness around her  '' There is this handsome Captain visiting Tortuga more and more. Brings with him lavish tokens for any woman he likes.''

Surprised Lucius just stared blankly before his mind begin moving, such a terrifying woman.

'' And how can I not take this opportunity?'' she said shrugging  '' I just told some honeyed words, moved my hips the tiniest bit and smiled prettily.''

Like a spider spreading it's web, a shark biting through it's prey.

'' And somehow he just won't go away. Truly if we wouldn't have meet today then I'm not sure if we would see each other again.''  she said still having a razor sharp grin. Suddenly Jack words echo in Lucius head  'he just told me to take him with me and in the next second we were on the ship'  

'' And does this handsome pirate has a name?'' Lucius asked not even a little disturbed by her smile. Suddenly she narrowed her eyes and said in a deadpan tone

'' At last he has a name.'' she scrunched her nose judging him  '' If you touched that subject why not continue it-''  she begin making Lucius snort, he knows exactly what she wanted but still didn't get why was so important  ''- shouldn't you take a name already? At the very last for your wife AND child. Even Jack has a name and you remained with the same urchin name you had. No-Name Lucius.'' she said crossing her arms, the jewelry clicking like bells at the smallest touch  ''Or take your ship name. Malchance Lucius, doesn't sound that bad either. A little pompous but you were always the weird one in the group.''

Lucius rolled his eyes and said the same thing he always does   '' Why do I need a name? I did talk with my love, for your information and she said that she has no interest in something like that. And Draco never asked.''

'' That's because you lie to the kid that he is gonna become a reptile or some sort of dragon when he grows up.''  she said pointing a him accusingly

'' That's has nothing to do with it. And maybe he could-'' he shrugged  ''- you never know with magic. And what about you?'' he changed the subject not wanting to thing further of it  '' What about your name or you want to take your man name now?''

Zira laughed sharply, face tense and gritted teeth  '' Zabini. That's my name. And have no worry darling, no one would take it away from me.''  Lucius inclined his head, not bowed never bowed but the respect he has for this strangely independent, completely made by herself woman was enough. After a couple of minutes in silence basking in the atmosphere, Lucius tasted the name on his tongue.

'' Zabini.'' he frowned remembering Narcissa cravings through the harsh pregnancy  '' Like the cream?'' 

Zira rare, without restrain laugh could be heard from outside.

Next morning Lucius, Jack, Will and Gibbs gathered in front of the ship, in front of them a rather not impressive but there crew. Lucius was pretty sure that parrot wasn't even a parrot, beady eyes following around ...that or he was blind you can never be sure. Or maybe he should have caught some sleep last night, at the very last see his family and not gossip with Zira all night just to hear her lust over her new toy.

'' Feast your eyes, Captain. All of them faithful hands before the mast. Every man worth his salt. And crazy to boot.'' Gibbs said cheerfully presentencing the line of men. While Jack and the other two were inspecting the men's, Lucius fixed his eyes on the second strangest man in the line. With startling green eyes and a bush of a hair that barely stayed under his hat. He looked boredly ahead, loose hands at his side, not a single tension in his body.

Despite all that he give of a feeling of  'Don't touch, don't look.' , somehow similar when Zira used her voice to empty others pockets. The man had magic. Lucius wasn't sure how much or where exactly the power was fixed in his body, but it was there. He didn't voice it though, just give him another glance and continued his observation.

And of course that was the moment Anamaria appeared. Looking at his slapped friend Lucius snorted, he did say it wasn't a good thing to steal from a woman.

'' You deserved that!'' he yelled at him still smiling 

'' You stole my boat.''  the woman stated giving him  another slap driving Jack into Will. While the two were bickering, Lucius looked at the bushy haired man trying to pint point where his magic was settled. Azure eyes locked with startling green staring suspiciously at one another. The man broke the contact first looking down still bored.

Somehow while Lucius turned his head Jack just promised the boat to Anamaria. He walked closer to them just to catch Gibbs words

'' -. It's frightful bad luck to bring a woman aboard, sir. ''  Gibbs said, Lucius patting his shoulders heavily 

'' Didn't you get it yet my friend?'' he asked innocently  '' Bad luck follows us around.'' he said laughing at the man expression 

'' True that.'' Jack said  '' What's one more?'' 

'' Don't forget the kid.'' Will reminded Gibbs smirking as well

--

The weather was fucking awful. And Draco was a stubborn brat. His brilliant wife was the same.

That was Lucius line of though while standing beside Jack trying to gather his magic. Jack remained unmoved, holding the wheel steadily despite the awful weather and his compass in another.

'' Can't you work faster?!''  Jack yelled turning the wheel after the compass

'' No!'' Lucius yelled back gasping, the use of magic was straining making his vision cover in blotched black spots. He swallowed almost making the lighting hit the ship but he didn't let them  '' Be happy, ye ain't falling over!'' 

-

'' How can we sail to an island that nobody can find-'' Will yelled over the weather glancing back at the two captains, one of them sailing the ship while the other could be seen making tiny balls of light and letting them go around him. He didn't get it.  ''- with a compass that doesn't show north!'' 

'' Aye! The compass doesn't show north!''  Gibbs approved pulling at the ropes tying them once more. A strong wave knocks him over before he could finish, it almost takes Will away too if it wasn't for the slim arm holding him in place taking Gibbs spot at the ropes 

 '' Ma'am?!''  Will said surprised almost slipping the ropes  '' Shouldn't-!'' he would have slipped again if it wasn't for Narcissa  '' Nevermind.''

The woman just laughed and despite the storm her dress wasn't even a little soaked, just her skin and hair taking the fall. She was also holding the ropes firmly and moving her legs with the weather much better than Will himself. 

'' To answer your question-'' she begin sticking a leg out so she can tug better on the ropes   ''- we aren't trying to find north are we?'' she laughed, a beautiful carefree sound 

'' It's magic! '' another voice said somewhere down of them. Will eyes fixated on Narcissa long, loose dress before taking his eyes away, last he is throw overboard.

'' Is that Draco?'' he asked not believing himself

'' He wanted out to help. That was the compromise.'' she said not loosing her grip despite the harsh wind 

'' Is your dress enchanted Ma'am?'' Will asked one of his other million and growing questions 

'' Something like that.'' she laughed again, little giggles accompanying her 

Such a crazy family.

-

Gibbs barely walked to the wheel, where the two captains were staying. Jack was holding the ship turning the wheel after the compass, while Lucius. with loose hands at his sides and face looking at the raging sky begin muttering.

'' We should drop canvas sir!'' Gibbs yelled , eyes closed from the rain

'' She can hold a bit longer.'' Jack said turning the wheel harshly, at his side Lucius opened his eyes looking peaceful

'' What in your head had put  the two of you in such a fine mood?''  Gibbs said spitting water 

Suddenly Lucius laughed, a powerful sound that echoed through the ship and the wind that tried to overthrow their ship moved behind them pushing her forward. Lucius with his hand outwards and a mad grin on his face, used his magic to change the storm directions at every turn Jack took. Behind them, without anyone knowing, Malchance was stuck to their back adding at the speed. No one talked about how his skin glowed and his hair was raising up a little too much.

'' We are catching up.'' Jack said smirking, lighting flashing behind him, looking at the crew barely staying on their feet at the current speed they were going.
